EXCLUSIVE- Rani: If I realise audience doesn't want to see me, I need to pack my bag & take care of my child
Rani Mukerji will be seen playing the role of a teacher suffering from Tourette syndrome in Hichki. In a quick interview with Pinkvilla, Rani spoke about facing the box office jitters and her experience shooting for the movie.
After a power-packed performance as a police officer in Mardaani, Rani Mukerji is back with a bang with Hichki, a movie where she plays a teacher suffering from Tourette syndrome.
Hichki has already hit the theatres today and fans and critics can't stop raving about the powerhouse talent that Rani is.
In a quick tete-te-tete with Rani on the release date, a visibly warm yet tensed actor spoke about facing the box office jitters and her experience shooting for Hichki post motherhood.
When asked if she is feeling the release date jitters, Rani stated, "Of course, I think for every actor, the day box office jitters die, that is the day you need to pack up and leave."
Stressing on how every Friday release is important to an actor, Rani added, "Box office jitters should never leave an artist because we work so hard for this Friday. We are working for the audience, to see their reaction, to know what they think of our performance. For us, every Friday is so important. I think jitters are the least that an actor can have, it is something which is very organic. "
Rani also got candid on why it is important for an actor to know the reaction of their audience to their performances. She said, "For me, as an actor, it is very important to know what my audience thinks of my performance. Going forward from here, because I am a mother today and because I have to multitask, I need to know if the audience wants to see me back onscreen, only then it will be worthwhile for me to come back and do many films. But if I realise that my audience does not want to see me anymore, then I think I need to pack my bag and just take care of my child."
A proud mother of 2-year-old, Adira, Rani further shared her experience of shooting for Hichki whilst embracing motherhood.
"I think for me, post motherhood shooting for a film was altogether a different experience because my daughter was there at home waiting for me. So, obviously, I was concerned that I have to balance my work and my home life," Rani said while adding, "I had devised a plan to complete my work early in the morning then return back to take care of my daughter by afternoon. So that kind of worked for me very well. The team was actually quite prepped. We completed the film in 38 days which is quite an achievement since Hindi films take a long time to get shot."
